It is not hate. Hate and love are two sides of the same coin. It is indifference.So, here I am, waiting to pass into indifference. I'm not there yet. Right now it's hate. Bone-deep, irrational, wild-eyed, if I saw you on the street I'd spit in your face, hate.I have reasons. I could enumerate said reasons. Enumerating them would not make these reasons important, because, in the grand..http://frank-downey.livejournal.com/34877.html Happy Birthday Alienor!- February 17, 2008 ...many more and all that :-)http://frank-downey.livejournal.com/34728.html Ah, college.- February 11, 2008 I got this letter in my college email in-box.

This is much, much earlier than it has been. I understand the arguments against how early and compressed much of the primarycaucus process has been this year. I even agree with some of them.But this is the veryfirst time that I have ever voted in a presidential primary where the race was still undecided. And I've been voting since 1984. I've been faced with...http://frank-downey.livejournal.com/33841.html So, I got this letter...- February 8, 2008 ...in the mail yesterday from my college.

Three are continuations of last semester: Comp 2, Precalc 2, and Intro Spanish 2. Then there's World History 1 (that's an online course) and Introduction to Drawing, which actually counts as a Humanities elective. There was this girl in my Comp 1 class that drove everyone nuts. She's one of those people who analyzes a reading by making it mean whatever she wants it to mean. Or she reads two words, takes them wildly out of context, and goes of on the Tangent To Hell. Of course,..http://frank-downey.livejournal.com/33111.html |
